Asia Pacific - July 2007

I've been there, but I suspect many others are afraid to go once they've encountered some of the locals here in YAP who threaten/abuse them each time they make statement that sheds light on an unpopular but true reality of life in the Philippines. The prospective tourists start believing that the malcontents here are representative of the typical pinoy (of course they're not) but can you blame them?

Okay, so we've been to Boracay and Palawan, time to move to another beach. In Cebu, we can go Malapascua Beach or Bantayan Island OR we can go to Bohol - Alona Beach (Panglao Island). If you were the travel director of YAP, which would you recommend?


water, water, water everywhere
we see it here, we see it there
we swim, we wade - our bathing suits we wear
our problems, our worries - we forget what they were

the tourists they come they enjoy it here
our food they eat, our laughter they hear
they come from countries, far and near
our people, our ways, they need not fear

we welcome everyone to take a trip
our beaches are great, take my tip
the waters are cool so take a dip
hey there's a shark - just kidding, pip!

***corny poem is my original!

For those that have read my previous question, I apologize if I am repeating myself. I have two flight routes to pick and a few places to get these plane tickets I have found from the USA,IL to Manila. I just need to know from those that travel from the US to Manila, which is easier to deal with at the last stop before Manila. Hong kong or Tokyo?

Also, when going to the Philippines, would it be better to do the money exchange there or before my trip and how to go about it?

Sorry for all my questions :)
thanks!

Today I got a job offer to go to Cebu, Phillipines to work at a call center. They are offering me a monthly salary between $600 - $1000 + a place to live, one meal and free snacks and beverages at the office. I want to know if this salary is ok for living there.

Also I would like to know if you know the company Call Tek Center, and how is it working there.

I would appreciate your answers about this.

...by terminal security personnel and asked for "gifts".
The last time I was there while traversing one of the SEVEN security checkpoints on the way to the gate, a security guard who i greeted in tagalog, patted me down and my wallet, peered in then asked for a "pasalubong" while sticking out his hand complete with a grin. It has happened before but somehow I think I reached my limit on this unethical practice.

What are your thoughts on all this? At the very least, extremely unprofessional behavior.

Millions of yen are being dropped off mailboxes in Japan. I think a modern Japanese Robin Hood is making his rounds. I wonder who he is. Good job to you!

First of all, I want to make it clear that I am a die-hard right wing and an American patriot. I am not some mindless freedom hating communist robot. So if any of you want to call me a lib, flick off!

I spent a the last month traveling around China and I must say that our understanding of the place is just.... pathetic.

We just love to think of Chinese people as mindless drones enslaved by the goverment but the fact is that they are NOT! I would go so far as to say that if you asked someone of equivalent status to you or me (i.e., just the average worker or student) they would know more about America then we do about China.

There are so much false info out there. People are writing about how Chinese people 'eat everything even each other or their own children' or 'have Christians throw off buildings and cook them into pies'...etc.

They are not ture! If this goes on China will take our place as the super power. I am sure we won't want that.
